Notes

An excerpt characterizing the Armavir State Pedagogical University

- No it's mine small man, you have to go to school. And without giving me a chance to protest, he continued. - At school, they give you the "grains" of your foundation - mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., which I simply would not have had time to teach you at home. And without these “seeds”, unfortunately, you won’t be able to grow your “mental harvest”... – dad smiled. – But first you will definitely have to thoroughly “sift” these “seeds” from the husks and rotten seeds ... And then what your “harvest” will turn out to be will depend only on you yourself ... Life is a complicated thing, you see .. And sometimes it's not so easy to stay on the surface ... without going to the bottom. But there's nowhere to go, right? - Dad patted me on the head again, for some reason he was sad ... - So think - whether to be one of those who are told how you should live or be one of those who think for themselves and look for their own path .. True, for this they beat on the head very thoroughly, but on the other hand, you will always wear it proudly raised. So think carefully before you decide what you like best...
- Why, when I say what I think at school, the teacher calls me an upstart? It's so insulting!.. I never try to be the first to answer, on the contrary, I prefer when they don't touch me... But if they ask, I have to answer, right, right? And for some reason, very often they don’t like my answers ... What can I do, dad?
- Well, this, again, is the same question - do you want to be yourself or do you want to say what is required of you and live in peace? Again, you have to choose... But they don't like your answers because they don't always match those they have already prepared, and which are always the same for everyone.
- How are they the same? I can't think the way they want to...? People can't think the same?!
“You are mistaken, my Light One… That’s exactly what they want – that we all think and act the same… That’s the whole morality…”
– But this is wrong, dad! .. – I was indignant.
- And you take a closer look at your school friends - do they often say something different from what is written? - I was embarrassed ... he was again, as always, right. “That's because their parents teach them to be just good and obedient students and get good grades. But they don’t teach them to think... Perhaps because they didn’t think much themselves... Or maybe also because fear has already taken root too deeply in them... So move your convolutions, my Svetlenkaya, to find for yourself, what is more important to you - your grades, or your own thinking.
– Is it really possible to be afraid to think, dad?.. After all, no one hears our thoughts?.. Why then be afraid?
“They won’t hear you… But each mature thought forms your consciousness, Svetlenkaya.” And when your thoughts change, you change with them too... And if your thoughts are correct, then someone may very, very much not like them. Not all people like to think, you see. A lot of people prefer to put it on the shoulders of others, like you, while they themselves remain only "executors" of other people's desires for the rest of their lives. And happiness for them, if the same "thinkers" do not fight in the struggle for power, because then not real ones come into play human values but lies, bragging, violence, and even a crime, if they want to get rid of those who think with them "out of place" ... Therefore, thinking can be very dangerous, my Light One. And everything depends only on whether you will be afraid of it or prefer your human honor to fear ...
I climbed up to my father on the sofa and curled up next to him, imitating the (very dissatisfied) Grishka. Next to dad, I always felt very secure and peaceful. It seemed that nothing bad could get to us, just as nothing bad could happen to me when I was next to him. Which, of course, could not be said about the disheveled Grishka, since he also adored the hours spent with dad and could not stand it when someone invaded these hours ... He hissed at me very unfriendly and showed with his whole appearance that it was better I wish I could get out of here as soon as possible... I laughed and decided to leave him to quietly enjoy such a dear pleasure for him, and she went to warm up a little - to play snowballs in the yard with the neighbor's guys.
I was counting the days and hours until my tenth birthday, feeling almost "totally grown up", but, to my great shame, I was not able to forget my "birthday surprise" for a minute, which, of course, is nothing. nothing positive added to my very “adulthood” ...
I, like all children in the world, adored gifts ... And now for days on end I wondered what it could be, what, in the opinion of my grandmother, I should have “really liked” with such confidence? ..
But the wait was not so long, and very soon it was fully confirmed that it was very worth doing it ...
Finally, my "birthday" morning was cold, sparkling and sunny, as befits a real holiday. The air “burst” from the cold with colored stars and literally “ringed”, forcing pedestrians to move faster than usual ... All of us, going out into the yard, were breathtaking, and steam literally poured from “everything living” around, funny making everyone look like multi-colored steam locomotives hurrying in different directions...
After breakfast, I simply could not sit still and followed my mother with a “tail”, waiting for when I would finally see my long-awaited “surprise”. To my great surprise, my mother went with me to the neighbor's house and knocked on the door ... Despite the fact that our neighbor was a very pleasant person, what relation she could have to my birthday remained a mystery to me ...
- Ah, our "holiday" girl has come! Opening the door, the neighbor said cheerfully. - Well, let's go, Blizzard is waiting for you.

In 1865, a new men's school was opened in the village of Armavir. The sons of the indigenous inhabitants of the Circassian-Gays (Circassian Armenians) were taken here, who studied Russian and Armenian language and, arithmetic and the Armenian-Gregorian Law of God. In 1877, this educational institution was transformed into a two-class public school. The range of subjects studied has expanded. In 1882 the school was named Aleksandrovsky. By the end of the XIX century. Over 400 students have studied here. Basically, these were the children of the native Armavir Circassian Armenians. If there are free places for a fee, children from other cities are also accepted here. In connection with the appearance of Russian schoolchildren in 1895, the post of teacher of the Orthodox confession was established at the school. Alexander two-class school. 1900s.

Since the native Armavir spoke mainly Circassian, this language was widely used in educational process. The teacher of the Armenian language of the Alexander School, Babasin Aleksandrovich Tvelov, worked most hard on the development of lessons in the Adyghe language. In a letter dated October 26, 1887, the superintendent of the school, Iosif Umantsev, informed B.A. Tvelov that “G. The Trustee of the Caucasian Educational District… asks to express His Excellency's gratitude to you for your participation in the preparation of lessons in the Adyghe language. At the same time, His Excellency, expressing the hope that you will continue to treat with the same zeal the undoubtedly useful task of collecting data on the language of the Armavirs, points out that the native language should certainly be used when primary education and therefore hopes that you will apply, complete, and re-verify those exemplary lessons which have been presented: in this way, a book of great use in the beginning teaching may easily be compiled in the future. Earlier, on June 7 of the same year, by order of the inspector of public schools of the Kuban region, B.A. Tvelov, he was instructed to “write fairy tales, legends, stories, etc. Abkhazian-Abaza alphabet".
Thus, already in late XIX in. teachers of the Armavir Alexander School were very important work on collecting and studying works of Circassian folklore, used the Adyghe language in the educational process, that is, they were engaged in such a noble deed as the preservation and development of the national culture of the highlanders of the northwestern Caucasus. It is indicative that the Russian administration not only did not prevent this, but also contributed to it. Studying the Armenian language and the Gregorian religion, the children got acquainted with the traditions and spiritual values ​​of the distant historical homeland. Thanks to the lessons of the Russian language and history, young Armavir residents were introduced to the great Russian culture.
